I'm getting parts & pieces together for a Ziroli 87" PT-17... I'm going to have someone else build it because I don't have the skills or time, but I do have a lot of questions... appreciate some advise from all of you with those skills!

Short kits are available direct from Ziroli, or from other kit cutters.... is there a reason to consider a third party cutter over Ziroli? I would like to go with a full kit, but looks like most suppliers are doing short kits and leaving the sticks up to the builder.

Paint Masks - where do I turn for a paint mask for the graphics? The plane will be paint over Solartex, and I'd rather have painted on graphics instead of vinyl. Can the vinyl cutters just cut the adhesive backing to use as a mask?
